Ngawait

The Ngawait, also spelt Ngawadj and other variations, and also known as Eritark and other names, were an Aboriginal Australian people of the mid-Riverland region, spanning the Murray River in South Australia. They have sometimes been referred to as part of the Meru people, a larger grouping which could also include the Ngaiawang and Erawirung peoples.[1][2] There were at least two clans or sub-groups of the Ngawait people, the Barmerara Meru and Muljulpero maru.
